Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Yes, thank dear ladies...this is truly a miracle indeed. We have been able to pay our honest debts and will continue to do so. I am so happy to contribute to our family. I am getting paid to homeschool our children which I never asked for nor in my wildest dreams ever imagined!

Praying for ALL you wonderful ladies! Continuing to pray this novena daily. I do want to purchase an "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" medal to wear as a devotion and daily thanksgiving and offering up of all these intentions here.

Thank you for this topic, Anne. We are still struggling and have been discerning whether to make a big decision (asking for prayers about this on the Prayer forum) that might impact us financially further. I've been going through homeschooling books and trying to sell what we don't need as an adjunct to my husband's income, but that doesn't relieve our stress. My daughter started an Etsy site to help (as well as to save for college), but that's not working, either. Right about now, I'm just hoping for a miracle.

Just wanted to pop in on the eve of our Lord's resurrection to say thank you to all of you beautiful women for your prayers for my family! We have been blessed to be able to pay off all of our credit card debt and we have a plan to stay out of debt for good. Things are looking much brighter and I owe it all to God and to the prayers of people like you!

(copying this from my original posting - I SO appreciate the prayers, and while I don't read all the prayer requests on here, I do always pray for "4real members' intentions" )

I have recently started a successful online business after several months of part-time and temp employment, but it's seemingly "too little, too late" and despite extremely careful financial planning and execution, I just simply can't pay this month's basic expenses (rent to start with). I have a financial advisor who has been *wonderful* and even he is amazed at how far I make very little stretch, so I have been assured time and again, my financial choices are not at fault (although I keep blaming myself for it all).

Will you please pray that God's will is revealed in this situation?

Right now, the only thing that brings me peace is that my son and I are together, there is no outside childcare involved except for a friend who occasionally watches him for short periods (I also watch this friend's daughters so it's more of a social thing for the children anyway!).

And there is peace in knowing that my business is successful. If it weren't for going INto it financially behind, we'd actually be very far ahead right now.

We just have no options of where to go or what to do if I can't pay the rent, let alone everything else upcoming.

We are praying a novena for this and another situation. May I humbly ask for your prayers as well?

Celeste, I'm so sorry to read this of this financial worry ~ particularly when it is connected to trying to obtain good health care. I will be remembering you especially in prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the coming months.

May I be added to this list? My husband's job was recently cut. I pray he finds something quick! I have a job but now must cover the family for insurance which takes my weekly pay down to very little. My son is beginning college in a month and we have only one car. We must find him something to drive. Sigh. We have quite a bit of debt on top of all of this. So overall, very in need of financial prayers.
